The competition between thermal fluctuations and potential forces governs the stability of matter in equilibrium, in particular the proliferation and…
Nature PhysicsAreas of interest include the dynamics of complex and active materials, and aspects of collective behavior and self-assembly in both natural systems (e.g., inside the cell) and synthetic ones. Our approach is based on mathematical modeling and analysis, the development and application of software tools for large-scale biophysical simulation, and close collaboration with experimentalists.

This is a numerical computation package for various single- and double-layer kernels for Laplace and Stokes operators in boundary integral methods, implemented on top of the highly-optimized kernel independent fast-multipole method package PVFMM.
This is the simulation tool for tracking assemblies of microtubules driven by motor proteins.
